Drs. Miller and Petty worked with several medical device companies and thought they saw some things the industry could do differently, and better. They wanted to make a difference in the quality of care provided to patients suffering from joint diseases like arthritis. The Pettys and Dr. Miller made the first step toward realizing their vision by incorporating Exactech on November 8, 1985. Since that time, we have leveraged our founding principles to look at clinical challenges through the eyes of a surgeon. It’s all about working together, focusing on surgeons' needs, and then engineering innovative solutions for hip, knee shoulder and spine surgery.
Throughout the company’s development, our purpose has remained unchanged: Exactech exists to help people improve their quality of life and regain their independence if they’ve been injured or developed arthritic disease. We do this through innovative ideas, high quality products, education and commitment to service.
